Customer Reviews of How'd a White Boy Get the Blues
POPA'S GOT A BRAND NEW LABEL Popa Chubby has finally gotten himself on a bigger and better blues label, Blind Pig. Except for a couple songs here, he doesn't veer too much from his usual funky style of blues found on his previous efforts. What is a little different about this, is that half of these songs are strictly a solo effort where Chubby plays virtually every instrument. On the other half, he has a full band backing. Chubby's guitar is in fine form throughout. Also of note is Mike Lattrell's first rate piano and organ work on some of these tracks. A few of the strongest cuts off this are: "DADDY PLAYED THE GUITAR AND MAMA WAS A DISCO QUEEN". This is some wicked straight blues. At least as straight as Chubby gets. Great full sounding acoustic guitar and dobro work on this one. "BLACK HEARTED WOMAN" reminds me a little of that old song by Ringo Starr "Back Off Bugaloo", it has some nice female vocals that sing along with Chubby. "IT'S A SAD DAY IN NEW YORK CITY" is a catchy 7 minute tale about Chubby's adventures in the Big Apple. The whole band plays on this one and gives us a generous helping of saxes and honky tonk piano. Judging by the cowboy hat he's wearing on the cover, it looks like the big city Chubby has been bitten a little by the country music bug. He does his country song here with "GOIN' DOWN TO WILLIE'S and offers up some fantastic rockabilly guitar pickin'. Along with Lattrell's piano and mandolin work, this is a killer tune, and my favorite. Except for a couple weak tunes where Chubby teeters a little too much on the dreaded hip hop, he pretty much delivers the goods with his trademark blues with a funky edge. If your a Chubby fan like myself, this one shouldn't dissappoint.

Music fan from Flushing,NY is an idiot. This album smokes and maybe music fan should do that before listening to it again. Popa Chubby is GOOD!! for your mind and soul, not to mention your feet.
Monstrous
Anybody remember "Yukon" Moose Cholak, the 300-pound pro wrestler of the 50s and 60s? Cholak would draw ooohs and ahhhs from the wrestling fans in the arena by wearing an actual moose head and shoulders atop his own head and shouders. It was quite a sight--Cholak must've been 9 or 10 feet tall with that monstrous thing on his head. However, when the match began and big Moose was forced to take off his flashy headgear, he could barely move. There was no THERE there. Recently, I had the chance to hear this CD and realized that Popa Chubby is just like ol' Moose used to be--all shock and flash and sweaty, disgusting grunting, but when you step back and really listen, there's nothing going on. The wholly dumb and derivative guitar playing should draw huge chuckles from anyone who ever read a Mel Boy training book. Chubby just about murdered the NY blues club scene with his loutish stage shows, but that never prevents blues record labels from signing him for yet another new record, which always sounds just like the last record. Well, sometimes there IS justice in the music world, and nice guys may not finish first, but bad music always finishes last.
